Hi all, we are holding our next riot actors workshop on Wednesday 22 February 7pm at:

Oakleigh House Macclesfield Masonic Hall

1 Riseley Street, Macclesfield, SK10 1BW

All welcome but please note that Sam will repeat much of the workshop held on 11th February for folks who couldn’t make that one. It would be helpful to have an idea of numbers so please send John a quick Yes I’m coming or No I’m not to sambajohn1@yahoo.com.

There is a bar so drinks afterwards for those who fancy a bit of social.

We’ll be getting into the swing of things with some warm ups, going over the story and starting to sort out who is going to take on which role.

There’s lots of different characters, some speaking and some not, so there should be something for everyone. Sam Medway will be leading the session and helping to get people into the right role for them.

Do invite friends and family to get involved too as we still need lots more community actors.

Oh and don’t forget its Potato Riot Tuesdays every Tuesday between 12:00noon and 9:00pm at Artspace where we are making props, building sets and sorting out all of the events management stuff. The kettle is always on!

The plan is in place and the band is booked. We are now holding a series of open meetings to raise awareness of the event and to recruit the hands that we need to make it all happen. Whether you are up for being Stage Manager, helping to set up the feast, building props, being an actor in the re-enactment or any of the hundreds of roles that will help to make this one of the towns premier events we’d love to have you on board. Why not come along to one of the open meetings just to find out what’s going on.

The next open meeting is at Artspace on Tuesday 7th Febuary 7:00pm – 8:30. There’s lots to catch up on and lots to plan so hope to see you all there. Feel free to invite anyone along. We’ll be starting to sign people unto community actor roles for the street theatre as well as sorting out all sorts of other behind the scenes jobs.
